“Qualified critics take themselves too seriously,” says Kamal Haasan

When Suhasini’s qualified critics remark has already become the hotly discussed topic on the web for the past few days, here is what Kamal Haasan thinks about the same. “Qualified critics take themselves too seriously. I think it should be left to the people. Your angst is all about getting them to say good things about your film. So do you expect them to only say good things? What sort of a megalomania is that? I expect them to like and dislike my film. They have sculpted me. This grotesque or beautiful sculpture is thanks to them,” says Kamal Haasan.

“The biggest pleasure is when the film is already a big success and yet they are criticising it. That said, apart from ridiculing the critic for not being part of the major crowd, you might get a clue of the unknown quantum, about the minority that has been thinking. It is nice to know that also. After all, they might be the future audience,” he adds.
